Chapter 278 Steal? Come on, everyone, I guarantee you'll come back empty-handed!
The carriage swayed and rattled back to Fengyun City, and Lie Xuanyi immediately called out to Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao lifted the carriage curtain and peeked out, only to see that the Hu family's flag had been taken down from the city wall.
Instead, the cloud-patterned flag was raised.
Wait, the character for "cloud"?!
Yun Zhao suddenly woke up.
What is that?
Lie Xuan lifted the carriage curtain and glanced at it, then answered matter-of-factly, "The Yun-character flag."
Your flag—oh, since you're not here, they'll make a flag using your surname first.
"If you want to change it later, we can get you a flag that's your own."
"ah?"
Yun Zhao was stunned.
What is all this nonsense?
Seeing her blank expression, Lie Xuanyi explained it to her.
"The unwritten rule of Fengyun City is that whoever defeats the city lord becomes the new city lord."
In other words, the current city lord of Fengyun City is Yun Zhao himself.
Yun Zhao: ?
What is it?
Her carriage was stopped when it entered the city; the people patrolling were from the Li family gambling den.
"Fengyun City has a new city lord, and everyone entering and leaving must be checked."
Lie Xuan lifted the carriage curtain and peeked out.
"The one entering the city is Miss Yun Zhao, the city lord."
The people at the Li family gambling den recognized Lie Xuanyi and knew that he had followed Yun Zhao out of the city to hunt down Hu Yiyang, so they were overjoyed.
"The city lord returns to the city!"
He shouted, and the entire city gate tower erupted in excitement.
"The city lord returns to the city!"
A single sentence is like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil—it explodes instantly!
The city gates opened with a loud rumble, and Lao Ji led the Bai and Lie families, who lined up in a flash.
"Welcome back to the city, Lord!"
The sound echoed for a long time.
Yun Zhao felt that it would be unreasonable for him not to get off the carriage.
"Scarface, shall we get off the carriage?"
"Ooh~"
Scarface nuzzled her palm before jumping off the carriage first.
"Whoa!"
Many people who saw the scar for the first time screamed in surprise.
Until Yun Zhao got off the carriage.
The scarred tiger was as docile as a kitten in the little dumpling's hands. It bent down so that the little dumpling could sit on its back.
Yun Zhao rode a tiger into the city, with a falcon perched on his shoulder.
A careful observer noticed that a small green snake was faintly visible on her wrist.
"Good heavens, is the new city lord the lord of all beasts?"
"Will it end up like the Hu family?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Lord Yun is said to be the last disciple of the old master of Medicine King Valley!"
"Welcome, City Lord!"
Old Ji shouted again, and everyone followed suit.
Yun Zhao had a feeling that he was about to ascend the throne and become king.
She cleared her throat lightly: "Everyone, please get up!"
Her voice was soft and sweet, with a slight nasal tone.
Ah, this...
The little city lord has caught a cold!
Oh no! We need to go back and rest right away!
It's really serious if a child catches a cold!
The people from the Medicine King Valley Jishetang quickly stepped forward, and the middle-aged man at the front was about thirty or forty years old.
"Junior Sister, I am Liao Ming, the branch manager of Jishetang in Fengyun City. Let me take your pulse?"
Liao Ming treated her with utmost respect.
Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment.
Junior Sister?
Liao Ming quickly explained, "I am the sixth in my sect."
Ah! It turns out to be her sixth junior brother, whom she had never met before!
"Hello, Junior...Brother?"
Yun Zhao tentatively said something and extended his hand.
"Hello, Junior Sister!"
Liao Ming quickly took her pulse.
Perhaps she was still in a daze, because she reached out Xiaoqing's hand.
As soon as Liao Ming touched her wrist, Xiao Qing stuck her head out.
"hiss!"
"Ouch!"
Liao Ming was startled, and his apprentices rushed to help him up.
"Master!"
"Ah! Junior brother, don't be afraid, this is my pet Xiao Qing! Xiao Qing, don't scare people!"
Yun Zhao gently patted Xiao Qing's head and said apologetically.
Everyone was shocked; even venomous snakes could be made to coil up like snakes in her hands!
"It's alright, it's alright! Junior Sister is truly gifted!"
Liao Ming patted his chest, whether to comfort himself or to genuinely praise Yun Zhao, it was unclear.
Once Liao Ming confirmed that Yun Zhao was alright, he sent someone back to prepare the medicine.
The group escorted Yun Zhao to Hu Family Fort. Apart from the heads of the Bai and Lie families, the people from the Li family gambling house and Jishetang, everyone else left.
Zhuge Yue and Lu Xun were guarding Hu Family Fort when they saw her return, so they went to greet her.
"Are you alright? You seem a bit listless."
Zhuge Yue was somewhat worried.
"Hmm... I have a slight cold, it's nothing serious."
"You still need to rest more. Let's go to Hujiabao when you feel better!"
The bloodstains and the body have been dealt with, but the warehouse and other areas haven't been tidied up yet.
Zhuge Yue reported to her.
Um?
Warehouse!
Yun Zhao's eyes lit up instantly.
"Let's go! I'll go check the warehouse!"
She has so many things in her space, shouldn't she at least have a proper way to access them?
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yun Zhao had already eagerly climbed onto Scarface's back.
"Let's go! Scarface, let's go check out the warehouse!"
Scarface was confused, but seeing how happy she was, he quickened his pace considerably.
As she approached the warehouse, she secretly activated her spatial ability to stuff the foreign goods and some of the Yuan family's belongings inside.
The Hu family's storeroom also had a lot of things, so she could only search everywhere for suitable places to stuff them in.
Until they arrived at the warehouse door.
The gatekeepers were also from the Li family's gambling den.
Sigh, she has so few people under her command!
"Boss!"
The people at the Li family gambling den still habitually call her "boss".
This further highlights the differences between the Li family gambling house and the Bai family gambling house.
"Okay, open the door!"
Yun Zhao calmed himself down, trying to appear more composed.
The Hu family's warehouse was very large, consisting of a separate building, and it used to be heavily guarded.
Now it can only be guarded by a few people from the Li family's gambling den.
"Boom!"
The door opened, but there wasn't even a mechanism.
Yun Zhao thought she should secretly bring her third uncle and Sister Lu over and add some mechanisms or something to the storeroom!
Everyone knows that Hujiabao has good things, but no one expected that Hujiabao actually has so many good things hidden in it!
"My God, the Hu family has gone too far! They've plundered so much of the people's wealth!"
Old Ji angrily rebuked.
Yun Zhao touched his nose and then cursed, "That's right, the Hu family has really gone too far!"
She dared not say that many of these people belonged to the Yuan family!
Yun Zhao no longer cared what gold and silver treasures were hidden in Hu Family Fort.
She walked straight to the box she had put down and opened it.
Wow! What is this cup?
She picked up the glass, her face full of surprise.
Even the well-informed and knowledgeable Mr. Bai was taken aback.
"A luminous glass cup? That's a high-priced item from a foreign land!"
"It's actually a foreign product?!"
Yun Zhao held the glass cup in his hand and played with it, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, right, I was chasing Hu Yiyang yesterday, and he ran to the docks. Was it for these things?"
She feigned surprise.
"Maritime trade is handled by the government, yet the Hu family has started doing it privately. They're incredibly audacious!"
Lie Jia frowned and rebuked him.
"That's right!"
Yun Zhao nodded in agreement.
The following items all belonged to Yun Zhao, so neither the Bai nor Lie families could continue to follow along.
The group left the storeroom. Yun Zhao, hands behind his back, calmly watched over them, saying, "Keep an eye on my things, okay?"
Seeing the child's pretentious act, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, please rest assured, boss!"
After locking the warehouse, the members of the Li family gambling house once again stood guard at the door.
However, before leaving, Yun Zhao still put everything in the storeroom back into his spatial storage.
Just kidding, we can't lose so many treasures!
A thief? Let him steal then, the whole building is an empty warehouse!
